His
Australian Heiress

by Margaret Way

GENRE:
Contemporary Romance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

In this passionate saga
set in present-day Australia, the passing of a wealthy patriarch leaves one
young woman with a chance to change her life—if it doesn’t bring her world
crashing down first…

After losing her parents
in a tragic accident, young Charlotte was taken in by her grandfather, Sir
Reginald Mansfield. Despite his tyrannical tendencies, he cherished her above
all—a fact made clear by his surprising bequest. In her early twenties, she
intends to follow in his illustrious footsteps in the field of law. And now she
is the beneficiary not only of his vast financial assets, but of Clouds—the
stunning sandstone house in New South Wales with a breathtaking view of the
Blue Mountains and a bountiful garden of fragrant flowers. Unfortunately, not
everyone is pleased for her.

Charlotte’s grasping
aunt and uncle, as well as her controlling, entitled cousin cannot hide their
fury. As rivalries simmer and naked greed roils the socially prominent clan,
only Brendon Macmillan, Charlotte’s longtime friend, seems genuinely happy for
her—despite the bitter, scandalous history between their families. Charlotte’s
dream is to use the funds to open a shelter for abused women, and Brendon
intends to support and protect her. But often, more money means more betrayals,
secrets, and lies—and as Charlotte tries to determine who she can trust, she
may be a woman in danger herself…

EXCERPT:

The distinguished principal of Asherton
School for Girls, Dr. Vivienne Granger herself, came to the door of the Great
Hall to deliver an urgent message to one of her students. For the Head to do
such a thing was unheard of. There were lesser mortals to whom she could
delegate such tasks, but this was a very serious matter. It needed discretion
from the very top, and no one topped the benevolent, on occasion fearsome, Dr.
Vivienne Granger.

A rehearsal of The Merchant of Venice
was in progress. Charlotte Mansfield, Head Girl, handpicked by Dr. Granger on
merit, not on her illustrious name, was halfway into Portia’s famous speech,
“The quality of mercy is not strained.” Charlotte had reached, “Wherein doth
sit the dread and fear of kings . . . ,” making a brilliant job of it according
to the college’s speech and drama teacher, Dr. Phillipa Redding, when Dr.
Granger lifted a long, black-clad arm and began waggling imperious fingers in
Charlotte’s direction. It was a clear indication Charlotte was to break off and
join her.

Just wait for what’s coming.

The message popped instantly into
Charlotte’s head. It came from someone, maybe God, but she had no clear belief
that was so. She had given up wondering where her sixth sense came from.
Perhaps everyone was born with such a sense but made the decision not to
cultivate it because it made them nervous. And rightly so. It was scary. The
message she received was crystal clear and unequivocal.

Your grandfather is dead.

She felt the flow of blood in her veins
turn to ice.
